Temperament
The Abyssinian is one of the most captivating breeds.  It is a perfect companion with its delightful personality, affectionate loving nature, intelligence and playfullness.  The aby is known for its high activity level, sleek coat, expressive eyes and lithe body.

Every cat develops their ownpersonality quirks with its own likes, dislikes and habits.  For instance, our fawn girl, Kashmir, will come running at the sound of running water and will dip her paw and play if the tap is left running.  Abyssinians are determined and since they are intelligent, they are able to "problem solve" to get something they want, like open cupboard doors etc.  They will figure out a way to get to where they want to be.

Abyssinians are not extremely vocal but purr enthusiastically!  They are very devoted.  They love to shoulder ride, be where you are, follow you around and lavish you with kisses in the form of nibbles, licks and head butts.  Abyssinians make great traveling companions.  We often will choose a cat to come with us when we make deliveries for our business or when we go to cat shows.  They also do very well on a harness and enjoy the outdoors!
